The most unfavorable point for Chelsea is to see when the La Liga team lost the European final last time

I admit that the title has two inappropriate aspects, so it must be explained at the beginning. In most cases, the European finals are carried out between teams in different leagues, but there are also a few cases, which are civil wars between teams in the same league, such as the UEFA Champions League finals in the 13th to 14th season, the Madrid derby, and the 20th to 21th season, Manchester City vs. Chelsea. Take the Madrid derby as an example. Real Madrid won and Atletico Madrid lost. Since they are all La Liga teams, Atletico Madrid has conflicts with what the title wants to express. Therefore, this only involves the showdown between teams in different leagues, and the situation of the same league derby is excluded.

Another point, what we are talking about in the European game refers to events with long cycles, many games and complex schedules, such as the Champions League, the Europa League, the European Union, and the previous Winners Cup. And although the European Super Cup is also considered a European battle, it is just a game that determines the outcome, so it is not within today's discussion.

Okay, let's focus on the next European League final, Chelsea vs. Real Betis. It can be said that many people can guess the finals at the beginning of the season. Compared with the Champions League finals of Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Milan, the situation of this European League final can be said to be no surprise at all. First of all, Chelsea is definitely the strongest team in the Europa League, no doubt about it. Their visit to the European Union is condescending, or rather, a dimensional reduction blow to other teams. Secondly, if you have to choose a team with the second strength, either Real Betis or Fiorentina, and the former has a bigger weight.

In fact, this season, there are only 4 teams from the five major leagues, in addition to the above three, there is also Heidenheim. Looking at Heidenheim's current miserable appearance in the Bundesliga, they basically cannot compete with the other three teams. Therefore, as long as the division is reasonable and Chelsea does not meet Real Betis or Fiorentina too early, then the final will be nothing more than two situations.

Real Betis and Fiorentina can meet in the semi-finals, which is also within the presets of many people. So, as of the final, Europa League was really unsurprising.

So, what about the finals? Will there be an upset?

is actually not unpopular, Real Betis is not weak either, and Chelsea is not concerned about their strength. Just looking at their miserable past few years, they don’t have much advantage in facing Betis. Of course, purely in terms of strength, Chelsea is definitely the dominant one. Under normal circumstances, they can win and win the championship. But in the past so many years, everyone should have an inherent impression of the performance of La Liga teams in the European finals. It can be said that from a historical perspective, there is something very unfavorable to Chelsea - when did the La Liga team lose the European final last time?

In recent years, as long as Real Madrid and Barcelona reach the Champions League final, they will definitely win. In the Europa League final, isn’t Sevilla having fun enough? In addition, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have also played in the championship, which shows that the La Liga team has almost reached an invincible level in the European finals.

Last time, they lost in the final, which was the first year of the 21st century. In the 200-01 Champions League final, Valencia lost to Bayern and ranked second. But it was so difficult to defeat the La Liga team in the final. Bayern was so strong back then, but defeating Valencia could only pass a penalty shootout. So from this perspective, if you look at the case of La Liga team losing the European finals in regular time, you have to look forward.

So, for 24 years, the La Liga team has maintained a record of winning the European finals. Isn't it scary? You should know that Europa League has only been in four seasons, and this is the first time that the La Liga team has reached the final of this event. If the trend in these 24 years continues, then Real Betis will continue to maintain the magic of the La Liga team's European finals.

Just asked Chelsea if you feel a sense of fear?

Of course, all the so-called rules on the football field will be broken. Perhaps, Chelsea can follow Bayern in 2001.
